Disaster: Day of Crisis is about to come in Japan, and the first commercials are hitting Japanese television (and the Japanese Wii) now.
The first thing you'll notice is that all of these short spots show off the English language voice acting with Japanese subtitles. Could this point to a quick port for us?
Finally there is some new details on this September 25th Japanese release. You play as Raymond Bryce, a retired rescue worker who quit after losing his friend Steve in an accident. When an earthquake suddenly strikes his city, he springs to action, all the while working against a terrorist origination that is using the chaos to steal a nuclear weapon. How very Hollywood!
As you can see in the trailers, you'll use your Nunchuck and Wii Remote to make your way through the city, dodging every type of disaster you can imagine. According to 1UP, you'll come across wounded citizens and will have to help them in various ways. You'll have to do all of this while fending off the terrorists.
I truly hope we hear something soon about a US release date, as Europe and Japan already have one.
What do you think of this title so far? It kind of came out of nowhere, didn't it?

I thought a PS2 version was already released? oh well, I've been keeping a loose eye on this one and will continue to do so.
This game looks really good. I'm so glad Monolith have held it back for extra work.
Possibly the best Wii game of 08? We'll soon know, but its just what Wii needs.
Woah. Looks like one of the best looking games on the system yet. Looks like a blast too!
Next Escape from Bug Island?
This game still looks good I just hope it sells good.
I think Nintendo just gave up on this game and hope people will forget about it.. I still don't see the reason for this game to be delayed for nearly three years, And in the next week hope for decent sales with little advertising...
it looks good, but that video is too blurry to really tell how good the graphics are..
Looks much better than those early screenshots and since it has a rampagin bear I must buy it.
It's already in english... so where the fuck is the release date?
BEARS!!! Colbert was right!!!
Actually this game has been around since the time the Wii launched, but kept getting delayed. It'll be finally out, hope its worth the wait.
That trailer shows some good stuff, I just hope the final product be as good as the trailer. Is there any date for America?
lookin good
a quick port would be nice.
color me impressed that this game actually made it
also it looks pretty cool, those are some great graphics for the Wii
Did anyone else hear him say "Piece of shit!" when the car won't start? In a Nintendo game! My word!
Lol, what the fucks with the arrow?
I didn't think this game would end up looking good but HOT DAMN I want this game. It's like 24 meets Disaster Report. A gift from above.
Came out of nowhere, and has been in development for years all at the same time.
@grafkhun
It's made by Nintendo. There is no PS2 version.
Looks great, glad to see this game finally coming out. Hopefully project H.A.M.M.E.R will follow.
ya see theres much more interest and potential for me to buy this game because there was so little amount of time to over hype the game and ruin expectations and fanboygasms
Wow. I had totally written this one off, but I sit corrected. Color me very impressed.
i have hope in this, come on N don't dissapoint me!
@ grafhunk
that was another game...
Mildly interested. I shall await the YouTube videos from Japan and Europe before investing further.
